The answer

Feeding and watering a dog are acts of kindness commanded by Islamic law. It is permissible to play with a dog as long as it does not require touching it. If it requires touching, then it is not permissible. The presence of a dog in one of the apartments of a building does not prevent angels from entering the rest of the apartments.
